[edit] Rating 9/10
Divination is usually considered weak, after all, specializing in Divination as a wizard only has a one banned school penalty. That's why with this divination focused build I see a lot of potential for someone deeply rooted in the divining aspects of things. With limited spells and spells per day, the emanations, while powerful, are balanced, and the turning of outsiders is useful. Gut reaction says 8, and a 9 for flavor. I'll rate it with the scoring system a bit later to see if math matches up with my gut. -- Eiji 12:19, 10 January 2008 (MST)
[edit] Rating
Power - I give this class a 5 out of 5 because the weapon proficiency and great powers and the skills made this class seem balanced. --Hatman 21:20, 29 February 2008 (MST)
Wording - I give this class a 5 out of 5 because the wording was done well. --Hatman 21:20, 29 February 2008 (MST)
Formatting - I give this class a 5 out of 5 because because it was formated well. --Hatman 21:20, 29 February 2008 (MST)
Flavor - I give this class a 5 out of 5 because because this is a role playing class, not a brute fighter, a sneaky rogue, a healing cleric, or a blasting sorcerer. The Deviant uses philosophy and gains understanding of the univerce and that kind of stuff. --Hatman 21:20, 29 February 2008 (MST)
[edit] Featured Article Nominee
I would like to put this article forth as a featured article nominee, because I believe it complies to all the standards put forth by the feature article nominee page. I am looking forward to hear your thoughts on the matter. --Sulacu 15:47, 26 March 2008 (MDT)
Comment - Ok I just took a quick look at the article (I haven't read it yet just looked at the formatting when I get a chance I'll read it and post another comment) two things that popped out at me the image tends to look better at the bottom of the infobox rather than the top so I'd recommend moving it. The other thing I noticed there is some links to the SRD but not a lot, it is entirely possible that there isn't many terms that can be linked in this article (like I said I haven't read it yet) but I'd suggest just giving it the once over see if you can find any more terms you could link to the SRD. --Hawk 07:40, 28 March 2008 (MDT)
Comment — This needs an example NPC. --Green Dragon 12:58, 29 March 2008 (MDT)
Support — Except for the Example NPC, this class seem to be completed. I find this class highly original and interesting. The class is balanced and adaptable to almost any campaign setting, good job Sulacu!--Lord Dhazriel 10:11, 12 April 2008 (MDT)
Comment — The spell list needs to be formatted as per the preload. --Green Dragon 23:57, 4 May 2008 (MDT)
[edit] Questions
It seems odd that emanations are treated as 3rd, 6th, and 9th level spells for their DCs. Do they stay active when you are asleep (I assumed so because of the Alarm emanation)? I assume antimagic field does not affect itself (probably in the spell description so that you don't have to worry about it :P). --Aarnott 06:24, 15 April 2008 (MDT)
- They are active as long as the deviant deigns them to be active. Sleeping does not stop the emanations, although they may be deactivated and reactivated at will. The antimagic field emanation does not impede itself, nor do any of the others. In any case, the deviant may still need minor tweaking until the mechanics are completely acceptable. --Sulacu 14:29, 15 April 2008 (MDT)
[edit] Complete Overhaul
I changed a lot of this class, lately, especially in response to my publication on wizards gleemax boards which concluded that the class was rather overpowered. I gave it a big boost in the saves department, reworded a lot of things, took out a lot of annoying and convoluted mechanics (modeling the banishing of outsiders to the epic Planar Turning feat was a great help). Also, there now is a sample NPC. --Sulacu 15:16, 20 April 2008 (MDT)
